Description
Vasectomy and epididymectomy are straightforward procedures that are used alone or in combination with other procedures to create teaser animals. Exploiting the “buck effect” or “ram effect” in a herd or flock can facilitate early estrus and estrus synchronization in production groups using natural service or advanced reproductive techniques. Epididymectomy is also used in bulls in combination with penile procedures for marking. This brief module covers restraint, sedation/anesthesia, the surgical procedures and recommendations for aftercare. This is a great time to add this service to your practice!
